Video Lan Client, the nigh-indispensable open source media player for multiple audio and video formats (MPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Divx, ogg, etc.), was updated to version 1.0.3 over the weekend. The new version, a 41 megabyte download, adds the following fixes and changes:

Video outputs:
– Fixed video quality when resizing the video on Windows Vista and 7, due to regressions in most popular drivers.
– New deinterlacers modules based on yadif and yadif(x2) algorithms.

Decoders:
– Windows version supports now natively the WMA Professional codec, as it didn’t work in the packaged version of 1.0.2.
– Fixed downmixing of particual 4.0 AC-3 audio tracks.
